College Counseling and Placement
The college choices of any year's graduates provide a visible measure of the academic strength of both the girls and the school.
Throughout the college search, the College Counseling Office at Winsor offers information, structure, and support to juniors and seniors and their families.
Individual meetings with each student, family conferences, college nights featuring college admission and financial aid officers, and homeroom meetings focusing on key elements of the process (such as interviewing and essay writing) are part of the college counseling program.
Winsor's experienced college counselor, Jennifer Graham, maintains close contact with college admission officers in order to best represent our students. College catalogs, videos, financial aid information, and testing materials are available in her office.
We expect that students will use the skills they have developed through the years at Winsor to facilitate the college process. Our students are encouraged to be actively involved in their own college searches, to reflect carefully about their goals and aspirations, to learn more about themselves, and to make wise and informed decisions.
